CANTERBURY PARK HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTESTO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.1.OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Overview; Reorganization - Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in October 2015. The Company is a successor corporation to another corporation, also named Canterbury Park Holding Corporation, that was incorporated in 1994 (“CPHC”). Effective as of the close of business on June 30, 2016 CPHC’s business and operations were reorganized into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 1, 2016 that was approved by CPHC’s shareholders on June 28, 2016. Pursuant to the Reorganization:

The Company replaced CPHC as the public company owned by CPHC’s shareholders, with each shareholder at June 30, 2016 owning the same number of shares and having the same percentage ownership in the Company (and, indirectly, in all property and other assets then owned by CPHC) immediately after the Reorganization as that shareholder had in CPHC immediately before the Reorganization.

The Company became the holding company for and parent company of two subsidiaries, Canterbury Park Entertainment LLC (“EntertainmentCo”) and Canterbury Development LLC (“DevelopmentCo”).

EntertainmentCo is the surviving business entity in a merger with CPHC pursuant to the Reorganization and it became the direct owner of all land, facilities, and substantially all other assets related to the CPHC’s pari-mutuel wagering, Card Casino, concessions and other related businesses (“Racetrack Operations”), and EntertainmentCo continues to conduct these businesses consistent with CPHC’s past practices and will continue to be subject to direct regulation by the Minnesota Racing Commission (“MRC”).

DevelopmentCo will continue CPHC’s efforts to commercially develop approximately 140 acres of land currently owned or controlled that is not needed for our Racetrack Operations. DevelopmentCo is not subject to direct regulation by the MRC.

On July 1, 2016 the shares of the Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “CPHC.”

For purposes of this Report on Form 10-Q, when the term “Company” is used with reference to information covering or related to periods up to and including June 30, 2016, such term refers to the operations of CPHC prior to the Reorganization.

 

BusinessThe Company’sCanterbury Park Holding Corporation’s (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) Racetrack operations are conducted at facilities located in Shakopee, Minnesota, approximately 25 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. In May 1994, the Company commenced year-round horse racing simulcast operations and hosted the first annual live race meet during the summer of 1995. The Company’s live racing operations are a seasonal business as it typically hosts live race meets each year from May until September. The Company earns additional pari-mutuel revenue by televising its live racing to out-of-state racetracks around the country. Canterbury Park’s Card Casino typically operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is limited by Minnesota State law to conducting card play on a maximum of 80 tables. The Card Casino currently offers a variety of poker and table games. The Company’s three largest sources of revenues include:are from Card Casino operations, pari-mutuel operations, and food and beverage sales. The Company also derives revenues from related services and activities, such as admissions, advertising signage, publication sales, and from other entertainment events and activities held at the Racetrack. Additionally, the Company is developing underutilized land surrounding the Racetrack in a project known as Canterbury Commons™, with approximately 140 acres originally designated as underutilized. The Company is pursuing several mixed-use development opportunities for this land, directly and through joint ventures.

 

Basis of Presentation and Preparation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (Canterbury Park Holding Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries Canterbury Park Entertainment, LLC,LLC; Canterbury Park Concession,Concessions, Inc.; and Canterbury Development, LLC). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

7

These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, 2021, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K (the “20162021 Form 10-K”10-K”).

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and the cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2022 and 20162021 have been prepared by Company management. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, except where noted) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, statement of stockholders’ equity, and cash flows at September 30, 2017 March 31, 2022 and 20162021 and for the periods then ended have been made.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in our most recent Annual Report filed on the 2021Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.10-K. There were no material changes in significant accounting policies during the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022.

 

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. 

Restricted Cash – Restricted cash represents refundable deposits and amounts due to horsemen for purses, stakes and awards, and amounts accumulated in card game progressive jackpot pools, the player pool and poker promotional fund to be used to repay card players in the form of promotions, giveaways, prizes, or by other means. 

Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") – The Company qualified for federal government assistance through ERC provisions of the CARES Act passed in 2020, for the 2020 second, third, and fourth quarters, as well as the 2021first and second quarters. The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period because of the coronavirus outbreak. We recognize amounts to be refundable as tax credits if there is a reasonable assurance of compliance with grant conditions and receipt of credits. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's expected one-time refunds totaling $6,314,468, are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as an employee retention credit receivable. The Company recorded this amount on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a credit to salaries and benefits expense in the 2021fourth quarter. 

7

Deferred Revenue –Deferred revenue includes advance sales related to racing, events and corporate partnerships.Revenue from these advance billings areis recognized when the related event occurs or services have been performed. Deferred revenue also includes advanced Cooperative Marketing Agreement (“CMA”) promotional funds, andfor which revenue is recognized when expenses are incurred. The Company maintains a deferred gain on sale of land of $240,000 due

Payable to a repurchase right.

Reclassifications –Prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. Deferred revenue amounts have been reclassified on the December 31, 2016Consolidated Balance SheetsHorsepersons toDeferred revenue- fromAccounts payable in the amount of approximately $569,000. Also, certain amounts due to horsepersons have been reclassified from accounts payable to payable to horsepersons and certain amounts have been reclassified from card casino accruals to accrued wages and payroll taxes, which impacted the changes of these items on theConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Due to Minnesota Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association, Inc. (“MHBPA”)The Minnesota Pari-mutuel Horse Racing Act specifies thatrequires the Company is required to segregate a portion of funds (recorded as purse expense in the statements of operations), received from Card Casino operations and wagering on simulcast and live horse races, for future payment as purses for live horse races or other uses of the horsepersons’ association. Pursuant to an agreement with the MHBPA,Minnesota Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (“MHBPA”), the Company transferred into a trust account or paid directly to the MHBPA, $5,313,888$1,298,000 and $6,273,000$2,000,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, respectively, related to thoroughbred races. Minnesota Statutes specifyprovide that amounts transferred into the trust account are the property of the trust and not of the Company, and therefore these amounts are not recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Recent Accounting PronouncementRevenue Recognition –In November 2016, The Company’s primary revenues with customers consist of Card Casino operations, pari-mutuel wagering on simulcast and live horse races, and food and beverage transactions. We determine revenue recognition through the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statementfollowing steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

Determination of the transaction price

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation

The transaction price for a Card Casino contract is a set percentage of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. The new standard requireswagers and is recognized at the time that the statementwagering process is complete. The transaction price for pari-mutuel wagering is the commission received on a wager, exclusive of cash flows explainany track fees and is recognized upon occurrence of the change duringlive race that is presented for wagering and after that live race is made official by the period of cash, cash equivalents,respective state’s racing regulatory body. The transaction price for food and amounts generally describedbeverage contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for these goods. Food and beverage services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and the transaction price is recorded as restricted cash. Entities will also be required to reconcilerevenue as the good is transferred to the balance sheetcustomer when delivery is made.

Contracts for Card Casino operations and disclosepari-mutuel wagering involve two performance obligations for those customers earning points under the natureCompany’s loyalty program and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the program. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as these wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from what would result if the guidance were applied on an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty point contract liability based on the stand-alone redemption value of the restrictions. points earned, which is determined by the value of a point that can be redeemed for a cash voucher, food and beverage voucher, racing admission, valet parking, or racing forms. Based on past experience, the majority of customers redeem their points for cash vouchers. Therefore, there are no further performance obligations by the Company.

We have two general types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) our MVP Loyalty Program and (2) outstanding chip liability. These are included in the line item Card Casino accruals on the consolidated balance sheet. We defer the full retail value of these complimentary reward items until the future revenue transaction occurs.

The guidance will become effectiveCompany offers certain promotional allowances at no charge to patrons who participate in 2018. Whileits player rewards program.

We evaluate our on-track revenue, export revenue (as described below), and import revenue (as described below) contracts to determine whether we are continuingacting as the principal or as the agent when providing services, to assess all potential impacts ofdetermine if we should report revenue on a gross or net basis. An entity acts as a principal if it controls a specified service before that service is transferred to a customer.

8

For on-track revenue and “import revenue,” that is revenue we generate for racing held elsewhere that our patrons wager on, we are entitled to retain a commission for providing a wagering service to our customers. For these arrangements, we are the standard,principal because we believecontrol the most significant impact relateswagering service; therefore, any charges, including simulcast fees, we incur for delivering the wagering service are presented as operating expenses.

For “export revenue,” when the wagering occurs outside our premises, our customer is the third party wagering site such as a racetrack, Off Track Betting (“OTB”), or advance deposit wagering (“ADW”) provider. Therefore, the revenue we recognize for export revenue is the simulcast host fee we earn for exporting our racing signal to the presentation of our statement of cash flows where we will be required to reconcile to total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Currently, our statement of cash flows reconciles to total cash and cash equivalents.third party wagering site.

 

In August 2016,For the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statementthree months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded as other revenue $515,000 of Cash Flows: ClassificationCOVID-19 relief grants, including a lump sum grant of Certain Cash Receipts$500,000 from the Convention Center Relief Grant Program, which is overseen by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Cash Payments. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classifiedEconomic Development. There were 0 grants received in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will become effective in 2018. We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.three months ended March 31, 2022.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. ASU 2016-02 is effective in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,which provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance will become effective in 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. During 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net); and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; which clarified the guidance on certain items such as reporting revenue gross versus net and presentation of sales tax, among other things.We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

Currently, there are 0 awards outstanding as of March 31, 2022. Beginning in 2020, and as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended the granting of performance awards under its LTI Plan, and instead granted deferred stock awards designed to retain NEOs and other Senior Executives in lieu of LTI Plan awards for 2020,2021 and 2022.

5.    OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

The Company has threefour reportable operating segments: horse racing, Card Casino, and food and beverage.beverage, and development. The horse racing segment primarily represents simulcast and live horse racing operations. The Card Casino segment represents operations of Canterbury Park’s Card Casino, and theCasino. The food and beverage segment represents food and beverage operations provided during simulcast and live racing, in the Card Casino, and during special and other catering and eventsevents. The development segment represents our real estate development operations. The Company’s reportable operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because the segments differ in the nature of the products and services provided as well as process to produce those products and services. The Minnesota Racing Commission regulates the horse racing and Card Casino segments.

 

Depreciation, interest, and income taxes are allocated to the segments, but no allocation is made to the food and beverage segment for shared facilities. However, the food and beverage segment pays approximately 25% of gross revenues earned on live racing and special event days to the horse racing segment for use of the facilities. Starting in 2020, the food and beverage segment has not paid a commission to the horse racing segment subsequent to the Company's first temporary shutdown of operations starting March 16, 2020.

7.6.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In accordance with an Earn Out Promissory Note given to the prior owner of the Racetrack as part of the consideration paid by the Company to acquire the Racetrack in 1994, if (i) off-track betting becomes legally permissible in the State of Minnesota and (ii) the Company begins to conduct off-track betting with respect to or in connection with its operations, the Company will be required to pay to the IMR Fund, L.P. the greater of $700,000 per operating year, as defined, or 20% of the net pretax profit, as defined for each of five operating years. At this time, management believes that the likelihood that these two conditions will be met and that the Company will be required to pay these amounts is remote. At the date (if any) that these two conditions are met, the five minimum payments will be discounted back to their present value and the sum of those discounted payments will be capitalized as part of the purchase price in accordance with GAAP. The purchase price will be further increased if payments become due under the “20% of Net Pretax Profit” calculation. The first payment is to be made 90 days after the end of the third operating year in which off-track betting is conducted by the Company. Remaining payments would be made within 90 days of the end of each of the next four operating years. 

 

The Company entered into a Cooperative Marketing Agreement (the “CMA”) with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (“SMSC”), which became effective June March 4,2012, and was amended in the first quarter of each of January 2015,2016,2017,2018, and 2017,in June 2020 (as described below in Note 7) and will expire on December 31,2022. The CMA contains certain covenants which,that, if breached, would trigger an obligation to repay a specified amount related to such covenant. At this time, management believes it unlikely that the likelihood that theany breach of a covenant will occur, and that therefore the possibility that the Company will be required to pay the specified amount related to suchany covenant breach is remote.

Effective on December 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Contribution and Indemnity Agreement ("Indemnity Agreement") with affiliates of Doran Companies ("Doran") in connection with the debt refinancing on the Doran Canterbury I, LLC joint venture. Under the Indemnity Agreement, the Company is obligated to indemnify Doran for loan payment amounts up to $5,000,000 only if the lender demands the loan guarantee by Doran.

 

The Company is periodically involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the resolution of any pending claims and legal actions at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and as of the date of this report, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial positions or results of operations.

 

8.COOPERATIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT

Tax Increment Financing

On August 8, 2018, the City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota approved a Contract for Private Redevelopment (“Redevelopment Agreement”) between the City of Shakopee Economic Development Authority (“Shakopee EDA”) and Canterbury Park Holding Corporation and its subsidiary Canterbury Development LLC in connection with a Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF District”) that the City had approved in April 2018. The City of Shakopee, the Shakopee EDA and the Company entered into the Redevelopment Agreement on August 10, 2018.

Under the Original Agreement, the Company agreed to undertake a number of specific infrastructure improvements within the TIF District and the City agreed that a portion of the tax revenue generated from the developed property will be paid to the Company to reimburse it for its expense in constructing these improvements. Under the Original Agreement, the total estimated cost of TIF eligible improvements to be borne by the Company was $23,336,500.

On January 25, 2022, the Company received the fully executed First Amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment (the “First Amendment”) among the Company, the City of Shakopee, and the Shakopee EDA, which is effective as of September 7, 2021. Under the First Amendment and as part of the authorized changes regarding the responsibilities of the Company and the City, improvements on Unbridled Avenue will be primarily constructed by the City of Shakopee. As a result, the total estimated cost of TIF eligible improvements to be borne by the Company will be reduced by $5,744,000 to an amount not to exceed $17,592,881. In order to reimburse the Company for the qualified costs related to constructing the developer improvements, the Authority will issue and the Company will receive a TIF Note in the maximum principal amount of $17,592,881. The First Amendment also memorialized that the Company completed the Shenandoah Drive improvements as required prior to December 31, 2019. The City is obligated to issue bonds to finance the portion of the improvements required to be constructed by the City. 

A detailed Schedule of the Public Improvements under the First Amendment, the timeline for their construction and the source and amount of funding is set forth in Exhibit 10.1 of the Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2022. The Company expects to substantially complete the remaining Developer Improvements by July 17, 2027 and will be reimbursed for costs of the Developer Improvements incurred by no later than July 17, 2027. The total amount of funding that the Company will be paid as reimbursement under the TIF program for these improvements is not guaranteed, however, and will depend in part on future tax revenues generated from the developed property.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a TIF receivable of approximately $12,668,000, which represents $11,180,000 of principal and $1,488,000 of interest. Management believes future tax revenues generated from current development activity will exceed the Company's development costs and thus, management believes no allowance related to this receivable is necessary. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a TIF receivable of approximately $12,503,000, which represented $11,180,000 of principal and $1,323,000 of interest.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company leases some office equipment under finance leases. We also lease equipment related to our horse racing operations under operating leases. For lease accounting purposes, we do not separate lease and nonlease components, nor do we record operating or finance lease assets and liabilities for short term leases.

We recognize expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or any restrictive covenants.

Lease costs related to operating leases were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The total lease expenses for leases with a term of twelve months or less for which the Company elected not to recognize a lease asset or liability was $108,639 and $61,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Lease costs included in depreciation and amortization related to our finance leases were $6,471 and $6,319 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Interest expense related to our finance leases was immaterial.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Canterbury Park Holding Corporation, our operations, our financial results and financial condition and our present business environment. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements (the “Notes”).

 

Overview:

 

Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) conducts pari-mutuel wagering operations and hosts “unbanked” card games at its Canterbury Park Racetrack and Card Casino facility (the “Racetrack”) in Shakopee, Minnesota, which is approximately 25 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. The Racetrack is the only facility in the State of Minnesota that offers live pari-mutuel thoroughbred and quarter horse racing.

 

The Company’s pari-mutuel wagering operations include both wagering on thoroughbred and quarter horse races during live meets at the Racetrack each year from May through September, and year-round wagering on races held at out-of-state racetracks that are televised simultaneously at the Racetrack (“simulcasting”). Unbanked card games, in which patrons compete against each other, are hosted in the Card Casino at the Racetrack. The Card Casino typically operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Card Casino offers both poker and table games at up to 80 tables. The Company also derives revenues from related services and activities, such as concessions, parking, advertising signage, publication sales, and from other entertainment events and activities held at the Racetrack.

Recent Reorganization.

COVID-19 Pandemic:

In January 2020, an outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by a new strain of coronavirus was identified. The disease has since spread rapidly across the world, causing the World Health Organization to declare the outbreak a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”) on March 12, 2020. Since that time, governments and businesses have taken measures to limit the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including the issuance of shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business shutdowns.

As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in October 2015. The Company is a successor corporation to another corporation, also namedtemporary suspended all Card Casino, simulcast, food and beverage, and special events operations at Canterbury Park Holding Corporation, that was incorporatedfrom March 16, 2020 through June 9, 2020 and from November 21, 2020 through January 10, 2021. 

In connection with reopening our pari-mutuel, food and beverage, and Card Casino operations, we adhered to social distancing requirements, which included reduced seating at table games and poker and capacity limitations to follow Minnesota state guidelines. Effective May 28, 2021, all capacity limits, restrictions on large gatherings, and other restrictions, which had been implemented in 1994 (“CPHC”). Effective asresponse to the impact of the closeCOVID-19 Pandemic, were lifted and our Racetrack began operating operated under pre-pandemic guidelines. Our Card Casino also began operating without capacity restrictions effective May 28, 2021, but we maintained and intend to maintain certain operational changes and improvements initiated in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The disruptions arising from the COVID-19 Pandemic had a negative impact on the Company's financial condition and operations for the first half of business2021. However, the Company's revenues began to recover starting in the 2021 second quarter. The strong recovery we experienced in 2021 was a result of increased consumer confidence, reduction in capacity restrictions, and faster than anticipated vaccine roll-outs, as well as the success of initiatives begun during the COVID-19 Pandemic to increase attendance at live racing and other events, enhance the player experience, and recruit higher value players. Although the Company has currently appeared to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the pandemic has caused other global issues that could have a future adverse effect on June 30, 2016, CPHC’sthe Company. Specifically, these issues relate to supply chain issues and labor shortages, which have had some negative impact on our business and may continue to have an impact in the near future. Additionally, the spread of any new COVID-19 variants has had and may in the future have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results. As the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the economy and our operations were reorganized into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) pursuantevolves, we will continue to an Agreementassess the impact on the Company and Plan of Merger dated as of March 1, 2016 that was approved by CPHC’s shareholders on June 28, 2016.respond accordingly.

 

Further information regarding the Reorganization is set forth at Note 1 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I above and in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-210877) filed with the SEC on April 22, 2016, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

For purposes of this Report on Form 10-Q, when the term “Company” is used with reference to information covering or related to periods up to and including June 30, 2016, such term refers to the operations of CPHC prior to the Reorganization.

The primary source of Card Casino revenue is a percentage of the wagers received from players as compensation for providing the Card Casino facility and services, which is referred to as “collection revenue.” Other Poker Revenue and Other Table Games Revenue presented above includes fees collected for the administration of tournaments and the poker jackpot and amounts earned as reimbursement of the administrative costs of maintaining table games jackpot funds, respectively.

As indicated by the table above, total Card Casino revenue increased $3,496,000, or 50.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased visitation as our business recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above, as well as increased table games drop from the successful marketing efforts to recruit higher value players. The increase is also due to an increase in revenue generated from poker tournaments in the 2022 first quarter. 

Food and Beverage Revenue:

Food and beverage revenue increased $714,000, or 190.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased visitation as our business recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. Furthermore, the increase is also attributable to hosting larger scale events in the 2022 first quarter, which is more consistent with our pre-COVID food and beverage operations. 

Other Revenue:

Other revenue increased $109,000, or 13.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to the reversal of the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above, as well as hosting larger scale events in the 2022 first quarter. The increase is partially offset by the Company receiving $515,000 of COVID-19 relief grants in the 2021 first quarter. 

Operating Expenses:

Total operating expenses increased $3,258,000, or 41.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase reflects an increase in all of the Company's operating expenses, primarily as a result of the return to normalized operations in the three months ending March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year which included a temporary suspension of operations through January 10, 2021 and the limitations placed on operations upon reopening. The following paragraphs provide further detail regarding certain operating expenses.

Purse expense increased $461,000, or 47.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increases in pari-mutuel and Card Casino revenues. 

Salaries and benefits increased $1,541,000, or 38.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of personnel to support our resumption of normalized operations in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as well as the fact that the majority of employees were placed on an unpaid furlough during the first week of 2021.  

Cost of food and beverage sales increased $291,000, or 141.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to the increased food and beverage operations as described above. 

20

Advertising and marketing increased $245,000, or 434.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in advertising spend to support our resumption of normalized operations in the 2022 first quarter. 

Other operating expenses increased $303,000, or 44.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to our resumption of normalized operations including hosting special events and poker tournaments in the 2022 first quarter, as well as the fact the Company focused on minimizing discretionary spend in the 2021 first quarter to preserve cash. 

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $606,000 and $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We record our quarterly provision for income taxes based on our estimated annual effective tax rate for the year. The increase in our tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to an increase in income before taxes from operations. Our effective tax rate was 25.5% and 31.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of favorable discrete items that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The Company recorded net income of $1,774,000 and $551,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

EBITDA

To supplement our financial statements, we also provide investors with information about our EBITDA representsand Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain items from net income, a GAAP measure. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. We also compute Adjusted EBITDA, which reflects additional adjustments to Net Income to eliminate unusual or non-recurring items, as well as items relating to our real estate development operations and we believe the exclusion of these items allows for better comparability of our performance between periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 Adjusted EBITDA excluded depreciation, amortization, and interest expense related to equity investments. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”),GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of our operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.performance. EBITDA is presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and a basis for valuation of companies in our industry. Moreover, other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments to net income to eliminate unusual items. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, adjusted EBITDA excluded the gain on insurance recoveries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, adjusted EBITDA excluded the gain on sale of land and gain on insurance recoveries.

Total pari-mutuel revenue increased $311,000, or 8.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in other pari-mutuel revenue is due to receipt of $155,000 in source market fees received under Advanced Deposit Wagering (ADW) legislation that took effect on November 1, 2016. The ADW legislation allows Minnesota residents to engage in pari-mutuel wagering on out-of-state horse races online with a prefunded account through an ADW provider. The Company receivesMarch 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of monies wagered (generally 3.25% to 5.0%) by Minnesota residents through the ADW provider as a source market fee. The Company receives 72% of the gross source market fees less the amount of at least 50% for purses and breeders’ awards. The percentage of source marketing fee retained by the Company is recorded as operatingnet revenue, and the percentage to the purses and breeders’ awards are recorded as operating expenses. Simulcastexcluding $515,000 other revenue increased $92,000 primarily due to a small group of individual players who placed a significantly high volume of bets in the quarter. Total pari-mutuel revenue increased $931,000, or 11.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to $655,000 received in ADW source market fees in the first nine months of 2017. Additionally, on-track live racing revenue increased $249,000 primarily due to an increase in statutory take-out levels as compared to 2016 when the Company reduced the take-out on its live races as a promotion to increase wagering dollars (“handle”), but also resulted in substantially reduced revenue.from COVID-19 relief grants, was 16.3%.

    Total Card Casino Revenue $7,980,000  $7,325,000  $23,797,000  $21,445,000 

The primary source of Card Casino revenue is a percentage of the wagers received from the players as compensation for providing the Card Casino facility and services, which is referred to as “collection revenue.” Other Revenue presented above includes fees collected for the administration of tournaments and amounts earned as reimbursement of the administrative costs of maintaining jackpot funds.

As indicated in the table above, total Card Casino revenue increased $655,000, or 8.9%, and $2,352,000 or 11.0%, for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases are a result of increased play on table games. In management’s judgement, increased play is attributable to players spending more money due to a stronger economy, as well as an overall increase in card casino marketing initiatives. Also, higher jackpots on certain games drove increased play.

Food and Beverage Revenue:

Food and beverage revenue decreased $262,000, or 7.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease is attributable to six less live racing days compared to the 2016 third quarter. Additionally, there was a decline in attendance for a concert conducted in the 2017 third quarter compared to the 2016 third quarter. Food and beverage revenue increased $143,000, or 2.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to hosting more special events in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Other Revenue:

Compared to the same periods in 2016, other revenue increased $335,000, or 14.3%, and $682,000, or 14.2% for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases are due to increased admission revenue from a greater number of premium priced live racing days during 2017 and event admission revenue from a greater number of special events hosted. Also, the Company received higher payments under the CMA for joint marketing efforts with the SMSC. See “Cooperative Marketing Agreement” below. The amounts earned from the marketing payments are offset by an increase in other expenses related to RiverSouth, which is an area wide marketing association that promotes Shakopee entertainment venues.

Operating Expenses:

The Company’s operating expenses during the 2017 third quarter were $16,130,000, an increase of $1,058,000, or 7.0%, from the third quarter 2016 expenses of $15,072,000, and the Company’s operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $41,367,000, an increase of $6,483,000, or 18.6%, from $34,883,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Operating expenses in the 2016 third quarter included an insurance recovery of $592,276 related to storm damage in 2014 that was accounted for as a reduction in operating expense. The 2016 year-to-date operating expenses reflect the previously reported $3,990,519 pretax gain on sale of land in the 2016 second quarter that was also accounted for as a reduction in operating expense. Excluding insurance recoveries from 2016, operating expenses for the third quarter 2017 increased $396,000 or 2.5%. Excluding insurance recoveries and gain on sale of land from 2016, operating expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 increased $1,781,000 or 4.5%. The following paragraphs provide further detail regarding certain operating expenses.

Purse expense increased $97,000, or 4.5%, and $427,000, or 8.5% for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. Also, Minnesota Breeders’ Fund expense increased $33,000, or 13.1%, and $169,000, or 26.6%, for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases are primarily due to increased Card Casino revenues and increased purse fund payments due to ADW source market arrangements.

Salaries and benefits increased $330,000, or 5.3%, and $739,000, or 4.3%, for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases are partially due to the State of Minnesota mandated increase of $0.50 in the minimum wage effective August 2016, as well as an increase in employee incentive compensation resulting from an increase in performance from operations.

The gain on sale of land is due to the sale of approximately 24 acres of land adjacent to the Racetrack for a total consideration of $4.3 million.

During 2014, the Company incurred damage to buildings from multiple severe storms at the Racetrack. As of September 30, 2016, the Company recognized a $592,000 insurance recoveries gain in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Gain on insurance recoveries.”

Professional and contracted services increased $20,000, or 1.3%, and $237,000, or 7.1%, for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The nine month increase is primarily due to increased live racing contracted services as a result of additional live racing weeks and increased consulting fees, primarily related to development initiatives.

Advertising and marketing increased $286,000, or 28.2% and other expenses decreased $165,000, or 11.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This is due to a reclassification of expenses associated with RiverSouth.

Income tax expense decreased $36,000, or 5.7%, and $975,000, or 40.3% for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases related to tax expense associated with the gain on sale of land and gain on insurance recoveries in 2016 that did not recur in 2017. The effective rate was approximately 41% for both periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $953,000 and $926,000, respectively. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2,182,000 and $3,511,000, respectively.

Contingencies: 

 

The Company entered into a Cooperative Marketing Agreement (the “CMA”) with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, which became effective on JuneMarch 4, 2012, and was amended in Januarythe respective first quarters of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2017,June 2020 and will expire December 31, 2022. The CMA contains certainspecific covenants which,that, if breached, would trigger an obligation to repay a specified amount related to such covenant.these covenants. At this time, management believes that the likelihood that the breach of a covenant would occur and that the Company would be required to pay the specified amount related to sucha covenant is remote.

 

The Company continues to analyze the feasibility of various options related to the development of our underutilized land. The Company may incur substantial costs during the feasibility and predevelopment process, but the Company believes available funds are sufficient to cover the near-term costs. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for more information on liquidity and capital resource requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $5,104,000 primarily from net income of $2,182,000, depreciation of $1,869,000, and stock-based compensation and 401(k) match totaling $614,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statementsthe Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)GAAP requires managementus to make estimates and assumptionsjudgments that affect the reported amountsare subject to an inherent degree of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dateuncertainty. The nature of the consolidated financial statementsestimates and assumptions are material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain factors or the susceptibility of such factors to change. The development and selection of critical accounting estimates, and the reported amountsrelated disclosures, have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates, and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.Board of Directors. We believe the following critical accounting policies affectcurrent assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our more significant judgmentsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and estimatesother considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the preparationresulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of our consolidated financial statements.operations and cash flows.

Estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts - Property Tax Increment Financing "TIF" Receivable

 

Property and Equipment - We have significant capital invested in our property and equipment,As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a TIF receivable on its Consolidated Balance Sheet of approximately $12,668,000, which represents 68.9%$11,180,000 of our total assets at September 30, 2017. We utilize our judgment in various ways including: determiningprincipal and $1,488,000 of interest. The TIF receivable requires significant management estimates and judgement pertaining to whether an expenditureallowance for doubtful accounts is considerednecessary. The TIF receivable was generated in connection with the Contract for Private Redevelopment, in which the City of Shakopee has agreed that a maintenance expense or a capital asset; determining the estimated useful lives of assets; and determining if or when an asset has been impaired or has been disposed. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of these assets with their related expected undiscounted future net cash flows. If the sumportion of the related expected future net cash flows is less thantax increment revenue generated from the carrying value, management would determine how much ofdeveloped property around the Racetrack will be paid to the Company to reimburse it for expenses in constructing public infrastructure improvements.

The Company typically performs an impairment loss would be measured by the amount by which the carrying valueannual collectability analysis of the asset exceedsTIF receivable in the fair valuefourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential uncollectability exist. The Company utilizes the asset. To date, we have determined that no impairmentassistance of these assets exists.

Stock-Based Compensation –Accounting guidance requires measurement of services provided in exchange for a share-based paymentthird party to assist with the projected tax increments. The quantitative analysis includes assumptions based on the grant date fair market value. We utilize our judgment in determiningvalues of the assumptions usedcompleted development projects within Canterbury Commons, which derives the future projected tax increment revenue. The Company uses the analysis to determine if the fair valuefuture tax increment revenue will exceed the Company's development costs on infrastructure improvements. As a result of equity instruments granted using a Black-Scholes model.our analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021, management believes the TIF receivable will be fully collectible and no allowance related to this receivable is necessary. There were no indicators of potential uncollectability in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. 

 

Commitments and Contractual Obligations:

 

The Company entered into the CMA with the SMSC on June 4, 2012, that was amended in January 2015, 2016, 2017, March 2018, and 2017June 2020 and expires December 31, 2022. See “Cooperative Marketing Agreement” below.

 

Legislation:

Minimum Wage Legislation

Legislation that was enacted into law in 2014 increased the minimum wage that must be paid to most company employees from $7.25 to $8.00 on August 1, 2014, and from $8.00 to $9.00 per hour on August 1, 2015. A further increase from $9.00 to $9.50 per hour went into effect on August 1, 2016. In addition, starting January 1, 2018, the minimum wage will increase at the beginning of each year by the rate of inflation with a maximum increase of up to 2.5% per year. Prior to August 1, 2014, the Company employed a large number of individuals who received an hourly wage equal to or slightly above $7.25 per hour. As a result, this legislation has had an adverse financial impact in 2016 and 2017 and will continue to have an adverse impact. We have implemented measures to partially mitigate the impact of this increase by raising our prices and/or reducing our employee count. However, these measures could themselves have an adverse effect because higher prices and diminished service levels may discourage customers from visiting the Racetrack.

Cooperative Marketing Agreement:

 

On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into the CMA with the SMSC. The primary purpose of the CMA is to increase purses paid during live horse racing at Canterbury Park’s Racetrack in order to strengthen Minnesota’s thoroughbred and quarter horse industry. Under the CMA, as amended, this is achieved through “Purse Enhancement Payments to Horsemen” paid directly to the MHBPA. SuchThese payments have no direct impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or operations.

Under the terms of the CMA, as amended, the SMSC paid the horsemen $7.2 million and $6.7 million in the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily for purse enhancements for the live race meets in the respective years.

 

Under the CMA, as amended, SMSC also agreed to make “Marketing Payments” to the Company relating to joint marketing efforts for the mutual benefit of the Company and SMSC, including signage, joint promotions, player benefits, and events. Under the CMA, the SMSC paid the Company $1,581,000 and $1,197,000 for marketing purposes during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

In each of January 2015, 2016,As noted above and 2017affirmed in the CMA was amended three times to adjust the payment amounts between the “Purse Enhancement Payments to Horsemen” and “Marketing Payments to Canterbury Park.”Fifth Amendment, SMSC is currently obligated to make the followingan annual purse enhancement of $7,380,000 and annual marketing paymentspayment of $1,620,000 for 2018 through 2022:2022.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $672,000 and $1,298,000$112,000 in other revenue, and incurred $569,000 and $1,128,000$65,000 in advertising and marketing expense, and $57,000 and $170,000incurred $47,000 in depreciation related to the SMSC marketing payment.funds. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $366,000 and $610,000$47,000 in other revenue, and incurred $312,000 and $440,000$23,000 in advertising and marketing expense, and $57,000 and $170,000incurred $24,000 in depreciation related to the SMSC marketing payment.

Under the CMA, the Company has agreed for the 10 ½ year term of the CMA, expiringwhich has a stated term ending December 31, 2022 that it will not promote or lobby the Minnesota legislature for expanded gambling authority and will support the SMSC’s lobbying efforts against expanding gambling authority.

 

Redevelopment Agreement:

As mentioned above in Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements, on August 10, 2018, the City of Shakopee, the City of Shakopee Economic Development Authority, and the Company entered into a Redevelopment Agreement in connection with a Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF District”) that the City had approved in April 2018. Under the Redevelopment Agreement, the Company has agreed to undertake a number of specific infrastructure improvements within the TIF District, including the development of public streets, utilities, sidewalks, and other public infrastructure and the City of Shakopee agreed that a portion of the tax revenue generated from the developed property will be paid to the Company to reimburse it for its expense in constructing these improvements. The Company expects to finance its improvements under the Redevelopment Agreement with funds from its current operating resources and existing credit facility and, potentially, third-party financing sources.

On January 25, 2022, the Company received the fully executed First Amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment among the Company, the City of Shakopee, and the Shakopee EDA, which is effective as of September 7, 2021. Under the First Amendment and as part of the authorized changes regarding the responsibilities of the Company and the City, improvements on Unbridled Avenue will be primarily constructed by the City of Shakopee. As a result, the total estimated cost of TIF eligible improvements to be borne by the Company will be reduced by $5,744,000 to an amount not to exceed $17,592,881. 

Forward-Looking Statements:

 

From time-to-time, in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases, and in other communications to shareholders or the investing public, we may make forward-looking statements concerning possible or anticipated future financial performance, prospective business activities or plans whichthat are typically preceded by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends” or similar expressions.

Shareholders and the investing public should understand that suchthese forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties whichthat could affect our actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. SuchThese risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: material fluctuations in attendance at the Racetrack, decline in interest in wagering on horse races at the Racetrack, at other tracks, or on unbanked card games offered at the Card Casino, competition from other venues offering unbanked card games or other forms of wagering, greater than anticipated expenses or a lower than anticipated return on the development of our underutilized land, competition from other sports and entertainment options, increases in compensation and employee benefit costs, increases in the percentage of revenues allocated for purse fund payments, higher than expected expenses related to new marketing initiatives, the impact of wagering products and technologies introduced by competitors, legislative and regulatory decisions and changes, the general health of the gaming sector,

Pure Enhancement Payments and Marketing Payments under our CMA with SMSC may not continue after 2022. 

Our CMA with SMSC contains both affirmative and negative covenants that restrict our business and limit our ability to pursue certain changes to gaming laws, even if such activities or changes would be in the best interests of our company.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has materially adversely affected the number of visitors at our facility and disrupted our operations, and we expect this adverse impact to continue until the COVID-19 Pandemic is contained.

We face significant competition, both directly from other racing and gaming operations and indirectly from other forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We may not be able to attract a sufficient number of horses and trainers to achieve above average field sizes.

Nationally, the popularity of horse racing has declined.

Our horse racing and gaming businesses are sensitive to economic conditions that may affect consumer confidence, consumer discretionary spending, or our access to credit in a manner that adversely affects our operations.

A lack of confidence in the integrity of our core businesses could affect our ability to retain our customers and engage with new customers.

Horse racing is an inherently dangerous sport and our racetrack is subject to personal injury litigation.

25

Our business depends on using totalizator services.

Inclement weather and other conditions may affect our ability to conduct live racing.

We are subject to changes in the laws that govern our business, including the possibility of an increase in gaming taxes, which would increase our costs, and changes in other laws may adversely affect our ability to compete.

We are subject to extensive regulation from gaming authorities that could adversely affect us.

We rely on the efforts of our partner Doran for the development and profitable operation of our Triple Crown Residences at Canterbury Park joint venture.

We rely on the efforts of our partner Greystone Construction for a new development project.

We may not be successful in executing our real estate development strategy.

We are obligated to make improvements in the TIF district and will be reimbursed only to the extent of future tax revenue.

An increase in the minimum wage mandated under Federal or Minnesota law could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

We depend on key personnel.

The payment and amount of future dividends is subject to Board of Director discretion and to various risks and uncertainties.

Our information technology and other systems are subject to cyber security risk including misappropriation of customer information or other breaches of information security.
